Geek update: the core of yellow stars become pure diamonds. That's going to lead to some rich motherfuckers once we have ships cape able of ftl.

Ed I should clarify.. Yellow stars like ours don't go nova but turn into red giants which cool off to become white dwarfs(about the size of Earth) and when that phase starts to end the final product is a planet size diamond in the sky.

Ed2 7 billion yrs from ours will mostly turn out so.

This is predicated on someone buying it. I can have a thousand foot tall chocolate rabbit and can myself rich, but if nobody buys it and I can't monetize it, it's not really wealth, is it?

Holy hell getting accomodation that I can check into before the game with my travel schedule will be tight.

Hanging out in my hammock despite Mr PigDog asking me not to in case I'm so heavy that the trees break! The man has a death wish.

It's not like you can waddle faster than he can run anyways, so I figure he believes himself safe.

If so, he is a fool. Hell hath no fury like an extremely pregnant woman mildly annoyed.

They're literally walking cannons, already loaded with wailing ammunition.

I can get him while he sleeps.

Maternity leave is pretty cool so far what with having no baby to look after and all. The decrepit pelvis and general humongousness is a bit of a drag. Putting on a great front of being all sweetness and light whilst socialising with the ladies I met at antenatal class. Had some over for tea and cake in the garden yesterday. Fucking sickening behaviour, I won't be able to keep it up.

My forthcoming Firstborn has more clothes to wear in her first 6 months than any child on the planet ever will, and may actually challenge how many articles of clothing she can wear in the timeframe that they will fit her.

My mother-in-law (bless her heart) won't stop buying clothes for that time period. It's pretty funny, and just makes me know that my child is already spoiled rotten by one of her grandmothers. That's a nice feeling.

Just some advice, try to keep track of who gets her what and make sure they're wearing it when you see said person.

At least once.

Ah, noted! Thanks for the advice. I'll let my wife know too as I didn't even think to do that.

I organized a surprise birthday party for my brother today. I got as many of his old friends as I could to fly to Oslo for the week end. The grin on his face when he arrived at the restaurant to have dinner with me.. It feels good to do something nice for someone.

I later ruinedit by buying him half a dozem shots of tequila. He retaliated. I might bea little drunk, but not nearly asdrunk as my brother, that pansy.

After the passing of my German Shepherd this weekend my wife wouldn't let me sit and cry like I wanted to. Despite me wanting to wait for awhile before getting a new dog, apparently I had very little say in the matter. Tonight i'll make a new thread with said new dog's picture soliciting "mostly" tasteful new names as we pick her up this upcoming Saturday. If I can get my mobile to play along i'll get it started sooner.

One of the nerds who helped develop Firefox figured out recently he has Aphantasia, the inability to visualize anything ever, and wrote about his experience: https://www.facebook...56834777480504/

That's an interesting read. I have the opposite problem in that every word, thought, concept etc is a picture. I'm constantly converting pictures to words. It's one of the reasons I hate when people ask how I am feeling. I usually just say 'fine' because 'small white elephant drowning in yellow storming sea' tends to take too much effort to put into 'normal' words.

[worry]

That is equally interesting. Is there a name for that?

I have no idea. If it has a name, I haven't been able to find it. I just know that visual thinking/picture thinking isn't correct.

It's hard to explain but I'll try to give examples.

Hands pressed together flat with fingers pointing up, highway overpass, rocks of salt. - Please pass the salt. (An easy one to explain)

Woman standing in kitchen holding a knife, grandfather clock - Heirloom necklace. (Not so easy to explain)

Small white elephant drowning in a yellow storming sea - I'm feeling small bursts of anger (small white) caused by a bigger issue (elephant) that is making me feel anxious (yellow) and it's overwhelming (storming sea) and I'm not sure I can handle much more of it (drowning). (Headache causing)

Sometimes my associations are the same as other people and sometimes they are thoroughly different. When I am trying to describe something, especially an abstract concept, it is basically beyond me because a black triangle (a sense of knowing based on what we don't know but do) doesn't mean to other people what it means to me and I don't know how to put it into normal words . And common associations with certain things like colours or symbols don't apply. For instance, yellow is never a good or happy colour. Snowflakes never represent snow or the cold. It's heavily based on symbolism but at the same time if you say 'imagine a car' I see our car. But if you say "I was late because there was a crash on the M1' I see a shattering clock, yellow car, generic highway, M1. So, if you said to me 'shattering clock, yellow car, generic highway, M1' I would be all 'Oh, there was a crash on the M1 so you're late'. But if you said 'shattering clock, white car,generic highway, M1' it would mean you were late because the M1 was full of bad drivers.

I also never see words. I see symbols and numbers and letters used as symbols or numbers. But any time there are words in my thought (so a picture that has words in it, like an open book) the words are just fanciful scribbles. I can't see 'forest' or 'Seven' in my head. I can see Roman numerals though. Certain numbers also have matching colours and/or the colour changes the thought. So, IV black font white background is four. IV in the middle of a blank book page is fourth. IV on a clock face is four o'clock. But IV white with a black background means four in relation to a count down. 11 black on white background means eleven. But 11 on a yellow background means uncomfortable.


I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well...
